select one publication for habitual and
careful reading to the exclusion of all
others, we should choose unhesitatiugIy

Although IL does not clearly appea,

Although 1t does not clearly appear
upon the records at the Clerks Office, it
is nevertheless fact that that Peter For
man was high Sheriff of Hunterdon for
three years beginning With 1897. We are
assured of this by number of old resi-
dents. It was Sheriff Forman who exc
cuted the negro boy Jim," convicted of
numbering old Mrs. Burroughs, with an
ox-yoke, near Mount Airy. The hanging
took place in public, the gallUws being
erected in field short distance east of
the old copper mines, and thousands of
people crowded into the town to witness
the revolving scene. Sheriff Hofss term
is thus reduced to three years by this re-
vision, aud the name of Peter Forman
will assume place In the galaxy of
Sheriffs. Forman had but one arm, but
nothing in the legends of the old settlers
indicates that he failed in any of the
astute functions of his high Office on ac-
count of this shortage. Sheriff Hoff was
elected to the Legislature in 1929. and
died in office January 30, 1ssO.-Hunter-

In the cities, men are hired to walk
around with signs upon their back and
breast, but great many merchants now
a days utilize their customers for this
purpose. They have their wrapping pa
per printed with flaming cuts and type,
which is carefully folded so as to bring
the printing on the outside of the pack
age, which their customers are expected
to carry along the streets, thus making
them involuntarily walking signs of their
business. The whole thing is in bad
taste, and refusal of customers to carry
packages so tied up, wonld soon remedy
the annoyance. If merchants want to ad-
vertise their business, let them place In
side the package neat card, circular or
calendar, which would be preserved by
the customers and really be of some ser.
vice to the merchant.

Remarkable Success.

Remarkable Success.
/ The Davis Sewing Machine, mannfac-
tured by the Davis Sewing Machine
Company, at Watertown, N. Y, has
fairly astonished its inventor, manufac.
turers and agents, in the rapidity with
which it has come to the front as the
favorite family sewing machine.
People have, for years, supposed that
no more Improvement could be made in
this " family friend, !" but that this was
possible is abundantly proved by the
New High-Arm Davis. They are in
greater demand where their merits are
known than any other sewing machine.
They are SO easily understood 80 light

the very best sewing machine ever made
to obtain Davis. The Company
fully warrants every machine for five

grade Of workmanship that it cannot

thing Of neither pleasure or profit.
Three-fourths of the time required in
making garment is ordinarily consumed
in basting the work, No time is thus
wasted with this machine. as, by the use
of the vertical feed, all manner OF sewing
is done without basting. If you buy o

MURDER In NEW HOPE !
CHARLES 7. KITCHEN SHOT
He Dies i'm twenty Minutes.
The Slayer Gives Himself Up.

o'clock, Charles T. Kitchen, who kept q
grocery store on River street, just OPP
posite the town hall, in New Hope, Pa,
was shot in his store by Henry Gettys,
and died in less than half an hour.
Gettys. Immediately after the shooting,
walked across the iron bridge to the of.
fee of 7. I. Eastburn, Esq, and sur.
rendered himself.
The terrible act caused the most in
tense excitement both hero and in New
Hope. where both parties were known.
There are conflicting accounts as to
the details of the affair, but as near as
can be ascertained they are as follows:
Gettys, who is man of about 35
years, is boss bridge builder, and has
been engaged for years in building
bridges all over the country. He is
away from home most of his time, For
some years his family resided in New
Hope, but few months ago they re-
moved to Lambertville and lived 10 one
of the brick houses on Lambert street,
near the Delaware bridge. A week ago
he returned rather unexpectedly from
work in Tennessee. Since his return
he has become convinced that two or
three men were unduly familiar with his
wife. How he got this impression we
have not learned One of those that he
charged with the offense was Kitchen.
1t is said that he sent word to him yes
terday that he intended to shoot him.
he was in New Hope last evening, IL is
supposed, in search of Kitchen and one
or two others.
This morning he declared to his wife
that he was going over to shoot Kitchen,
and she tiled to prevent him from going
out of the house. but he brushed her
aside and went over the bridge and di.
rectly to Kitchens store.
When he entered the store it is re-.
ported that he said to Kitchen, " You
have disgraced my family !" to which
Kitchen replied. 81 deny it, and at
that instant Gettys fred at him from a
large revolver, the ball entering the left
side some distance below the heart, but
did not pass entirely through his body.
lie was picked up at once and carried to
his house adjoining the store, where DIR.
Parry was summoned, but no aid could
be given him. He died in great suffer.
ing from internal hemorrhage in about
twenty minutes. His last words were,
God knows l am innocent
Constable John benson, of New Hope,
by authority of a commitment issued by
Justice Eastburn, started with Gettys
for Doylestown Jail about 10 NJ
Gettys, after sitting in Justice East,
burns Office for awhile, began to weep,
and seemed to begin to realize the enor.
nifty of his offence.
Mr.. Kitchen WAS about 38 years old
and leaves a wife and eight children, the
youngest being only months old. He
worked few years ago in the spoke
factory in Lambertville. He is we'll
spoken of by his friends.
Gettys has a small family--two OF
three children, we are told.
Gettys is spoken Of as man of good
ability and we'll educated. His parents
reside at Buffalo, N. Y.
An inquest is to be held this morning
but it is not supposed that any import
ant facts beyond those already known
will be brought out.

Mason q Hamlin Pianos.

Mason & Hamlin bid fair to become as
famous for their pianos as they have long
been for their world-renowned organs.
The distinguishing feature about the
Mason & Hamlin Piano ia an important
improvement 10 the method of holding
the strings. They are secured by metal
lie fastenings, instead of by the friction
of pins set In wood, as has been the case,
and the advantages resulting are highly
important. Wonderful beauty and must
cal quality of tone; far less liability OF
getting out of tune; greater reliability in
trying climates; and greater solidity OF
construction and durability are secured.
